ABSTRACT
Music has affected me deeply and differently at various times in my life. I believe my attraction to the piano at a very young age and my immersion in music professionally were unconscious motivations that decades later contributed to my appreciation of the depth, elegance, and musicality of psychoanalytic ideas. Trained both as a musician and a psychoanalyst, I am interested in my own internal life, the emotional lives of others, as well as the inner workings of music. Particularly during my psychoanalytic training, I became curious about what resonated in me when words had limited value.
